Along with the latchstring, there will be a Welcome mat out before the doors of some 3 million homes and thousands of community centers just off the hard paved roads where rural America lives. Always neighborly, always friendly, rural women will make a special effort that week to advanceI demonstrate ments in improving home and community life. Their goal is the goal of mothers everywhere a model home thats t pleasure to keep, a college educa- - their a better place in neighborhoods which to live. They have plenty to show for their efforts community centers, playgrounds, lending libraries, hot 'school lunches, dental and medical clinics for old and young, hospital and other health insurance programs. Roads, schools, electric power and telephone lines also claim their attention. And if you say your community is without such a group, theyll urge you to see your home demonstration agent and get one started. Anyway, their interests dont stop at section lines or even county, state or national borders. If you will go down to the community center with them for one of their international evenings, youll hear, straight from the heart, that from Kalamazoo to Timbuktu, people are the same, way down deep. Theyll introduce you to songs and dances, customs, costumes and cuisine they have borrowed from every part of the globe. Theyll invite you to speak your piece when they open up the discussion on aid for Greece, international trade barriers or decisions of the United Nations. Moreover, youll find them looking unflinchingly at the possibilities of atomic power and considering ways of channeling its use into the production of world prosperity which makes for lasting peace. Parade of Progress.

Some persons who are slightly nearsighted dont see well because they dont try. That is the conclusion reached by three doctors from Washington university after experiments designed exercise to determine whether helped correct nearsightedness. Among patients who showed some improvement, the doctors found that the greatest change occurred in those with only slight myopia. By checking the refraction of this groups eyes, the doctors discovered that the patients should have had better vision in the first place and that the improvement apparently was a result of better visua effort during the tests.

When a deer appeared in a nearby field, he killed it with a single shot, never rising from his chair.

To subside How to Overcome Your Shyness She had come in to see me because she thought I could help her with a problem that had been making her life unpleasant for a long Now that it was growing time. worse, this thing in her life, she thought she had to get outside help. Her trouble was merely shyness. Always she had been a shy person, but never so shy as now, for now she even dreaded meeting friends. Was there nothing she could do to overcome shyness? What causes you to be shy? The answer is this: Shy people are completely possessed by their own feelings, and when they are with strangers they suffer from what amounts to mental paralysis. But if youre shy now, take heart. You dont need to be. There is a simple psychological trick that will enable you to overcome your shyness, not a week, a month, a year from now, but immediately. An eminent New York psychologist, Dr. W. M. Marston, has used it effectively on a number of shy people, so you see it has substantial psychological background. What it does is break the .emotional barrier that keeps the shy person tongue-tie- Oh, Deer free! they U give Fu a iP,shoulder community cmunitv"'Lh;1Ve a share ln 1116 tog to provid! r1CtS they are work ' munities in 1 hundreds ff com-up- s ach state extension demonstration6 fhayr called hme ic extensionnniCll!bs home econom- lubs' extension w home units; bur H when u oaUSare right n the comes to making their 'HE man sidled pallid, up noiselessly to the kitchen door. He cast a furtive, searching glance over the lonely mountains, and down the trail winding through pines to the distant canyon road.

Or perhaps youll prefer to join the tours arranged for the display of home and community improvements. Or you can put on your best bib and tucker and attend the teas honoring the groups voluntary leaders the women who multiply the teaching efforts of the home demonstration agent by going to special training courses and bringing the skills or information back to their neighbors. Youll be welcome everywhere. And if you dont belong to a group, theyll invite you to join up. Thats why they are celebrating National Home Demonstration Week to tell or show other homemakers like themselves the opportunities they can find in the home demonstration program, opportunities aptly summed up in their slogan for the week, Todays Home Builds Tomorrows World. Figuratively Speaking. As for the use todays active participants in the program make of those opportunities, a few cold figures can at least give vague indication. In a typical year, 1945 in this case, these rural homemakers canned more than 530 million quarts of food and froze an additional 200 million pounds. More than 177,000 of them took first aid or home nursing courses and well over half a million made their homes safer by removing fire and accident hazards. More than further polished up their 800,000 knack with' a needle in keeping the familys wardrobe much of it home-mad- e trim and neat, while another 124,000 studied better money management.

The trick is this: whenever you feel say the first thing that comes to your mind, no matter how trivial it may be. Say it. Say it boldly. One shy young girl, advised by Dr. Marston to do this, later met a celebrated actor and blurted out: Oh, your tie is crooked. Here let me fix it for you." That broke the ice. The actor was charmed by the girls ingenuous personality. That one experience forever cured the girl of her shyness. People who were once shy and use this method for overcoming it, get the reputation for having original and charming1 personalities. In society they become favorites. They build their personalities on a handicap that previously held them down and when you build that way you build Solidly. Try it. |
